Dr. Daniel Monti just revealed a potentially massive breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease treatment.
And it’s much simpler than you think.
He just published his third study on a molecule called N-acetylcysteine, or “NAC for short.”
“This is a powerful antioxidant.”
“It actually protects the liver.”
“We know that it does a lot of different things, but the important thing for us is that it’s a precursor to something called glutathione.”
“Glutathione protects the brain when there’s damage or oxidative stress and we lose it as we age.”
“And when we get sick, we lose it even more.”
“So we want to have a way to efficiently increase glutathione in the brain, particularly when we have a neurodegenerative disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.”
“We hypothesized early on that giving infused N-acetylcysteine would increase glutathione and actually have a positive impact on Parkinson’s disease.”
“We’ve published three studies on this and we look at brain scans in all of them.”
“And what we’ve seen is that the N-acetylcysteine increases the efficiency of dopamine in the brain, which is the neurotransmitter or chemical that gets lost in Parkinson’s disease and causes all of those symptoms.”
“Our most recent study shows that it improves the way the brain connects to itself or talks to itself the functional connectivity in the brain.”
“To be in the study, you couldn’t have changes in your Parkinson’s medications for a period of time.”
“In both the control group and in the NAC group, people were on their Parkinson’s medications, but if they got the NAC, they did better.”
“Their brain came alive in a way that wasn’t happening before.”
